2009 Nissan Rogue

VEHICLE LOSES POWER, HESITATES, AND LACKS ACCELERATION, ALL TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I OFTEN CANNOT MAKE IT UP HILLS AND CANNOT PASS CARS ON HIGHWAYS I'VE ALREADY HAD THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE REPLACED (IN JANUARY OF 2015), AND NOW REQUIRE A NEW TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE INITIAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAME AT APPROXIMATELY 74,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 54.5K MILES ON IT.

WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES OR LONGER OR GOING UP A HILL THE ACCELERATION STOPS AND THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PAEDAL. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT HEATING UP ACCORDING TO THE TEMPETURE BUT THE CAR DOES SMELL LIKE BURNT. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND LET IT COOL TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE ISSUE WILL CONTINUE IF I DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES OR UP A HILL.

I PURCHASED MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE IN DECEMBER 2016 WITH 110K MILES ON IT. IN MARCH 2017 I BEGAN NOTICING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE ON LONG TRIPS. THE FIRST LONG TRIP I TOOK WAS IN MARCH 2017 AND ABOUT 150 MILES INTO THE TRIP MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 65-70MPH WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT IS 85MPH. THE ISSUE DID NOT RESOLVE ITSELF AND I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSAN ACTUALLY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THE EXACT ISSUE I AM HAVING IS THE EXACT ISSUE THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR. I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAVE OFFERED TO FIX THE ISSUE AT 50% COST TO ME. I AM NOT OKAY WITH PAYING 50% OF A REPAIR FOR A KNOWN DEFECT ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS FOR MY MODEL YEAR. WHY WASN'T A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS? THIS IS DANGEROUS. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE ON LONG TRIPS WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE IS AN INTERNAL WHISTLE IN MY TRANSMISSION AND I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR TECH AT NISSAN THAT THIS IS THE FIRST INDICATION OF THE CVT ISSUE. I WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND I WILL BE JOINING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS MATTER AS WELL.

WHILE TAKING A FAMILY TRIP IN JULY 2017 WEEKS AGO ON I95 DRIVING AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 65 TO 70. AT CERTAIN TIMES TRYING TO MOVE INTO ANOTHER LANE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO STARTED TO DECELERATE. IT DISPLAYED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS BEHIND YOU.
